Catching Up

Wow. So much has happened since my last post. There were so many things I wanted to write about that I just never got around to, and a couple of posts I tried to put up where pictures didn't want to cooperate and then the internet crashed. So! Here is a whirlwind update.

I just spent two weeks in Hawaii with my dad on a double-graduation trip. It was fantastic. We spent a couple of days in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, then we went to Hilo on the Big Island, and ended our tip in Kihei on Maui. We climbed a few old volcanoes--watched the sun rise over one of them, visited Pearl Harbor, toured the Dole pineapple plantation, climbed in massive Indian Banyan trees, went snorkeling and scuba diving, and I even took a surf lesson. Hopefully I'll get some pictures posted before too long.

The other MASSIVE update is that while we were in Hawaii, I got a job off for a teaching position in the United Arab Emirates. I will be moving to the emirate of Dubai in about a week and half where I will be working at an elementary school for Arab children whose parents want them to have an American education. There is so much to say about this that I don't even know where to start. Unfortunately, as the case has been for the last couple of months, my internet time is limited and hard to find. So, for now I sign off. If you're reading this, you probably already know the details anyway. Hopefully I will keep up with posting a little more frequently and with some pictures after I move overseas.

Thanks for reading,
